In Summer...

Our summer has been swell so far. Greg, Evangeline and I got a great vacation in Texas and Seattle. We got some quality time with family and friends and were able to recuperate for a crazy June. I'll post a few different posts with photos from our trip.

We took three weeks and drove down to Texas, and then Greg and I went to Seattle for work, and to celebrate out eight-year anniversary. Here's some highlights from our trip. Hard to believe we have less than 2 months until P-Nut arrives!

Playing at Lake LBJ with Aunt Cate.

Mother's Day Luncheon at the Winery. The proud Dads.

Uncle Danny and Aunt Cate. Such a great couple.

Summer is so much fun.

Capital Bound Baby!

A few weeks ago the Perreault Family finally made it back to Washington, DC. This city hold so much significance for our family as it was the place Greg and I met in Summer 2004 at the Washington Journalism Center.  It was our first time back as a family. Greg and I had an academic conference, AEJMC, where we both presented research and attended sessions. We also presented a book project we were involved in as part of a collaboration between the Reynolds Journalism Institute and Knight Foundation. We stayed in China Town in a hotel for the first part and then with our friends the Kazee Family for the second half. Evangeline loved the City. She loved the buses and Subway train. She loved the people. It made me sad that she is not growing up there with the community we left behind, but I'm glad we are in PhD school and have the opportunities we have here.

Here's some my favorite photos from our trip.

We got off the plane and headed strait to the Zoo, Evangeline was tired.

Here we are watching a zoo keeper care for several Beavers and Ducks

Seal watching is my favorite thing to do.
